Thanks for the help, tedd. Here is the snippet I'm trying to translate:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char line[256], lastcanon[256], lastword[256], *word;
   strcpy(lastcanon, "*Undefined*");
   for (;;) {
     if (gets(line) == NULL) break;
     if ((word = strchr(line, '=')) == NULL) break;
     *word++ = '\0';
     if (strcmp(line, lastcanon) == 0) {
       printf("%s = %s\n", lastword, word);
     }
     strcpy(lastcanon, line);
     strcpy(lastword, word);
   }
   return(0);
}

String handling is a breeze in FB^3 compared with C!
